The "daemon" in my case is atop, which writes its error messages to stderr, and upstream wants to have those in a log. I have worked around the s-s-d limitation by having s-s-d call a wrapper around atop which does the redirection and then execs atop - much ugly, and introducing a nice new class of errors since the process changes names.
